Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Capitol Punch Hazy IPA

◎ Appearance

Hazy golden-yellow with a soft, diffused clarity typical of the New England IPA style. The dense white head forms quickly and clings to the glass with fine retention, leaving delicate lacing on each sip. Moderate carbonation rises gently through the cloudy body.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe tropical fruit — mango and pineapple — underscored by soft citrus notes of tangerine and grapefruit zest. Clean noble hop character emerges without sharp resinous edges, while a faint yeast-derived creaminess rounds the overall impression. No harsh alcohol or grain harshness.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and juicy, with tropical and stone fruit flavors dominating the mid-palate. Bittering is restrained at 45 IBU, arriving late and dissolving quickly rather than asserting itself. The mouthfeel is soft and full without being heavy, with a gentle creaminess that enhances drinkability.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
